Thai Green Curry Meatballs

These simple and easy Thai Green Curry Meatballs are busting with flavor and completely addicting. It’s an added bonus that they’re healthy, and made with fresh ingredients.

There is one thing that gets me about this recipe every time–the FLAVOR! These little Thai Green Curry Meatballs are bursting with bold flavor! I think that’s why I love Thai food so much, in general. It doesn’t matter what type of dish you’re eating–like these Thai chicken lettuce wraps, or spring roll bowls— it will have tons of flavor, it’s usually healthy and made with fresh ingredients.

This recipe starts with easy homemade meatballs.

Mix the rolled oats, egg, and milk together. Let is sit for a few minutes to allow everything to soak together and the oats to soften. You could also use breadcrumbs.

Add the ground turkey and other ingredients and stir everything to combine. You’ll be able to tell just by their smell, how amazing they are going to taste!

Cook them in a hot skillet, in batches, until they’re nice and brown on all sides. Then remove them to a plate while you mix the sauce ingredients together.

The sauce for these meatballs is really simple. You just need unsweetened coconut milk, curry paste, brown sugar, garlic, and salt and pepper. Taste the sauce. You may want to add more curry paste, if you’d like it spicier.

Add the meatballs back to the pan and simmer them in the sauce until they are cooked through. Add the lime juice.

Serve the meatballs over your favorite kind of rice. I prefer jasmine or basmati rice, but brown rice is also a great, healthier option. I garnish them with fresh Thai basil and chopped cilantro. YUM!

Add the meatballs back to the skillet. Simmer them in the sauce until cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

Stir in the lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve over hot, cooked rice.

Notes

*I like the Mae Ploy brand of curry paste best. You can use any brand, but you may want to adjust the amount you add to the recipe depending on how spicy your brand of curry paste is! For example, the Thai Kitchen brand is pretty mild and the Mae Ploy brand is spicier.

Made this for supper last night. I doubled the recipe and I am so happy that I did because it was soooooo good! Went out today to buy more turkey and coconut milk to make it again! I’m drooling just thinking about it…seriously! Only change I made was using Patak’s mild curry paste because I couldn’t find green curry paste and I can’t handle too much heat.
